My husband will leave me if I take off the hijab.

[Lotusflowerbombx]

I’ve been married and a revert/covert to Islam for 6 years now for, yes I did it for my husband but I was so blindly in love at the time theres not much I wouldn’t of done. 6 years on and 2 DC I’m questioning everything!! I always have tbh, I’ve spoke many times with my husband about the hijab and how I don’t want to wear it but he said he’ll leave me if I don’t. He’s very much practicing and prays 5x a day at the mosque and he believes I do too but half the time I’m not actually.. I do feel bad about it though that’s why I think do I believe in this religion? When I’m having a bad anxiety day I pray and it makes me feel better but soon as that days done I’m back to pretending :( I had a conversation with my husband the other day about if our daughter didn’t want to wear hijab when she’s older what would he do and his answer was he would wash his hands of her and I just catch fathom how a parent could be so cold.. I hate wearing the hijab I don’t feel free and if my daughter was in my position I would say get rid but I’m just so scared I’ll regret it, is losing love worth it to show my hair? In all other areas he’s great, he’s the best dad and always helping with house work.. if I could dress how I want I would never think about leaving him :( anyone been in a similar situation? I struggle to find anything relatable online

I wish women would refuse to engage with men like this.

Cover yourself up, dear, you’re distracting the menfolk. FFS! Furious for every woman subjected to this oppression 😠

Hijab is cultural, not religious.

I am the one living in real life. You, are not. Calling what actually happens in real life 'hysteria' says more about you than me.

We too used to say women must cover their heads outside home.

Not anytime in Christianity or Atheism in the last 200 or so years.

We only recently stopped putting women who were pregnant outside marriage into asylums ( and it wasn’t just religious fanatics sending them there).

They were homes for unwed pregnant young women, not 'asylums'. And in Islam, that pregnant unwed woman - still today - would be put to death. I don't recall a time in Christianity or Atheism, ever, where there was 'honour killings' or where a rape victim was stoned to death for being raped!

The fact is Islam is a very dangerous, violent, and hatefully misogynistic religion still stuck in the 1200s. It has absolutely no compatibility with a civilised and humane society in 2026 (or even the 1900s).
